The 2021 Sicilia Nero d'Avola reveals a medium-dark appearance and a drinking style that is easy and fresh, perfect for a wood-fired pizza or cacio e pepe. There is a sweet note that recalls candied cherry or raspberry. Because of that, I suggest a pairing with a slightly spicy dish with black pepper or chili flakes. Those sweet flavors transition to black olive and Sicilian caper. This is a very large production of 300,000 bottles.
